Firework Craft for Kids with Egg Cartons
Learn how to make this EASY firework craft for kids to celebrate the 4th of July and New Year's! They will love adding the 3D egg carton fireworks to their art!
Materials
- Egg carton (We like to use Egg Lands Best egg cartons for crafting with because they are white, and easy for kids to cut on their own)
- Acrylic Paint or Oil Pastels (Choose "firework" colors, we used red, blue, green, yellow, and purple)
- Paintbrush
- Black Craft Paper (We like using cardstock paper for crafts because it is thicker and holds up to kid-crafting better)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Optional: Glitter
Instructions
- Use scissors to cut out the egg cups from the egg carton. Depending on how thick your egg carton is, your kiddo may need help with this part. Now, turn the egg carton cup into a firework by cutting the edges. I told my kids to make points, by cutting out triangles. Use the paint and paintbrush to give your firework color and paint the inside and outside of the cups. Use the paint and paintbrush to make the background of your craft by painting firework trails and sparkles. Your kiddos can get extra creative and use different colors and make different shapes and patterns. Glue the egg carton fireworks onto the background. Optional: Use the glue and add some glitter to the craft to make the firework artwork really shine!
